3rd Generation Prius in Malaysia - RM175000

Zerotohundred carried the article about the launch of the 3rd Generation Toyota Prius in Malaysia. It is selling for RM175,000. Yes that is how much they are selling it. It is even more expensive than the Toyota Camry or the Honda Civic Hybrid which is priced at RM129,980.

A check at Toyota's website have them list the price for the 3rd generation Prius as "estimated price list" at RM175,000. Is there something else that we should know?

Even Chips@Motortrader and PaulTan was way off with their estimate pricing when they tested the car in Japan.

I guess its going to be a costly affair for us normal Malaysian to drive an eco friendly vehicle until the government decides to do something about it. Who knows if that day will ever come.
